- Family routes: umbrella sub-fund, family-sponsored VCC, ordinary qualifying company and dedicated SFO.
- Tax: scheme and track distinctions, award dates, eligible income and residence.

A dated, reproducible data reference
ACRA counted 1,385 active VCCs at September 2026 month-end. January–September saw 136 formations and 54 cessations. These are entity-register observations; they do not measure fund AUM, strategy, performance or investor losses.
Read the full statistical analysis and cessation methodology. The JSON series includes source URLs and workbook checksums; the CSV supplies the same 45 monthly observations.
Using this edition
The earlier PDF contained stale counts and an incorrect implication that an exempt SFO could manage a VCC. It has been replaced at the same download address. This edition keeps the vehicle, management authority and tax award separate and removes unsupported market-fee and launch promises.
For a live planning discussion, use the formation checklist, manager arrangement guide and administration scope. Confirm the actual vehicle, offer, services and tax conditions with the relevant providers.
